What is your favorite Estonian metal band?

[Dan From Smithville]

I wanted to listen to something different so I picked a country and searched for metal bands from that country. It's different. I learned about a new subgenre. Folk metal. The band that performed the songs I listened to was Metsatöll.

The videos I watched were pretty well made, creative and often dark.

A Metsatöll sampler. It seems folk metal in this case is like Viking metal.

Wow!!! Terrible things can happen when you are suffering boredom.

Here, have a sympathetic hug...

Thanks.

Know of, but really don't know Meshuggah. Been a Black Sabbath fan for decades. Discovered Nightwish about five years ago. Excellent work. Symphonic metal!

I have heard Meshuggah but I don't like them. I used to be a death metal fan but now I am going back to bands like Black Sabbath because they are so bluesy. I reserve Nightwish for times when I want dash the steretypical views people have of metal. They are brilliant!
